Chapter 142: Foshan
"Chief helmsman, ahead is Foshan Town!" , Jiang Sigen introduced Chen Jialuo in an official dialect with a strong Cantonese accent, "That Feng Tiannan is really hateful, I took real money to buy iron ingots and recruit craftsmen but was blocked by him again and again, if I wasn't afraid of breaking the big event, I would have come to the door to get his golden stick!" β
From Jiang Sigen's words along the way, it can be known that this Fengtiannan is a tyrant in Foshan Town, controls the lifeblood of Foshan's iron industry, and has dealings with officials of all sizes in Nanhai County, to which Foshan belongs, and there are even rumors that he has a relationship with the governor's yamen in Guangzhou City; The reason why he didn't let Jiang Sigen buy iron ingots and recruit craftsmen was because the profits of iron ingots were far inferior to iron tools, and it was difficult to train skilled craftsmen, and he would inevitably affect his business if he dug up too much; On the other hand, he also knew Jiang Sigen's identity, and he didn't want to be involved too much with the rebel organization of the Red Flower Society, so as not to get into trouble. Chen Jialuo came to carry Heshen's name in his arms this time, and naturally he was not afraid of Feng Tiannan's relationship in the officialdom, but after getting off the boat, he did not go directly to Nanhai County, but under the leadership of Jiang Sigen, he first went to Foshan Town to investigate, and it was easy to talk when Feng Tiannan's sore feet were caught.
This Foshan comes from Zhuxian Town, Henan, Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and Hankou Town, Hubei Province, and is known as the four major towns in the world. Chen Jialuo arrived in the town, it was noon, looked left and right for a while, and just saw a big restaurant with a three-bay faΓ§ade in the south of the road, the signboard said "Hero Building" three big characters with gold lacquer, the windows on both sides were open, the knife and ladle in the restaurant sounded wildly, and the aroma of wine and meat sprayed out. At the moment, I thought that this should be the place where Xiao Hu Fei met Zhong Si's sister-in-law later, and seeing him looking at the signboard, Jiang Sigen said, "Chief helmsman, this hero building is Feng Tiannan's industry, in addition to the hero building, he also opened a hero pawnshop and hero gambling house in the town, and almost all the money that Foshan people have worked hard to earn has gone into his pocket." β
"That's right, let's go upstairs and see what kind of heroes there are!" After speaking, the folding fan snapped, and he raised his feet and walked towards the restaurant.
The guy guarding at the door of the restaurant saw that Chen Jialuo was extraordinary, and looked at the jade pendant on his waist and the folding fan in his hand were extraordinary, and greeted him with a smile, "This son, please upstairs!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Sigen following behind, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking about how he brought a stranger over today, and hurriedly gave the boss on the counter a look, the boss nodded, Chen Jialuo and the others just sat down upstairs, and Xiao Er went out from the back door to ventilate and report.
"What kind of food do you order?" , the guy asked while guessing Chen Jialuo's identity.
"What good food and wine can you have in this little place?" , Chen Jialuo opened the folding fan and shook it, "If you have any good hands, just come up!" If you are not satisfied with the food, you will smash your signboard! It is rare to have an addiction to a bully, and Chen Jialuo is extremely happy in his heart.
"Guest officer, our restaurant is naturally not as good as those time-honored brands in Guangzhou City, don't be embarrassed; However, the hero building is the industry of the wind lord, and this signboard is not something anyone can smash! The guy spoke softly and hard, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.
"You're funny, you guy, go down and order the food to be served!" , Chen Jialuo saw that Li Yuanzhi couldn't hold back his laughter, waved his hand to drive him away, and after the guy went down, he muttered a few words to the shopkeeper before ordering the food to be served.
"Brother Chen, are you doing a decent bully!" , After the guy left, Li Yuanzhi finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, seeing his serious appearance, he felt interesting at the moment.
"I'm just putting on makeup, but this guy just now has a lot of rules between walking, and he has calluses on his right hand, presumably with kung fu on his body; Even the junior who ran the hall has practiced for a few years, and this Feng Tiannan's power in Foshan can be seen from this! Chen Jialuo sneered.
"This surnamed Feng is the head of the Five Tigers Sect, known as the first master in Guangdong, there are many disciples, and some disciples who have just started are often sent to various stores to help greet them, this person is not a real buddy." , Jiang Sigen explained.
"Hehe, the number one master in Guangdong?" , believe it or not, I asked Tianjing to take Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu to smash your field? Thinking of Tianjing and the others, Chen Jialuo had a thought, "Brother Thirteen, how many people are there in Guangdong in our meeting?" Maybe you can eat this Feng Tiannan's industry? β
Jiang Sigen shook his head, "This Guangdong is the territory of the Heaven and Earth Society, and my Red Flower Society has always developed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and this Guangdong has just left some people to listen to the news, but I can't find so many people to take over Feng Tiannan's industry for a while!" β
"yes, I see!" At this time, the wine and food also came up, Chen Jialuo stopped talking, and began to eat with his head bored, the chef of this hero building is quite good, and several famous Cantonese dishes are very authentic, no wonder the business here is so good.
After eating, the interesting hero pawnshop, hero gambling house and other places slipped around, perhaps because they knew the news in advance, the owners of the pawnshop and the gambling house were very careful not to let Chen Jialuo find a reason to get angry and smash the stall. Thinking about Feng Tiannan's unscrupulousness towards the Zhong Sijia later, sure enough, these local tyrants and inferior gentry are all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.
came out of Foshan Town, and found an inn to live in Nanhai County, which is much less prosperous than Foshan Town; After sorting out today's harvest, Chen Jialuo instructed Jiang Sigen, "I wonder if the thirteenth brother has found out about the illegal affairs of this Feng Tiannan?" β
"This Feng family can be called all evil in Foshan, oppressing the people, embezzling land, collecting debts and hurting people to death, I don't know how many!" , Jiang Sigen replied angrily, "However, the Feng family is powerful, and the local dog officials have been fed by them again, even if someone goes to the yamen to avenge their grievances, those dog officials will not care." β
"If only someone is willing to sue! Can the thirteenth brother find a few bitter masters to go to the yamen to cry grievances? Chen Jialuo asked.
Jiang Sigen thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "A few days ago, I heard that there was a person named Yingu who wanted to sue Feng Tiannan** people's daughter, but the person disappeared within a few days; On weekdays, he was busy buying ironclad and contacting workers, but he didn't bother to investigate these things; However, the chief helmsman ordered, the little brother will look for it tomorrow, the Feng family has done a lot of evil, and it must be easy to find. β
Isn't this Yingu Yuan Ziyi's mother? Now I guess where to go to Tang Pei, right? "Well, it doesn't take too much, just three or five people!" , Chen Jialuo sighed in his heart, this Jiang Sigen can only push one step at a time, far inferior to Shi Shuangying and Xu Tianhong.
On the afternoon of the second day, Jiang Sigen brought three men and two women to Chen Jialuo, and Chen Jialuo asked them about their case and appeased them, "Tomorrow you will go to the yamen to beat the drum and voice the grievances!" β
